SAN ANTONIO -- Texas Longhorn kicker Nick Rose has seen plenty of playing time in his two seasons at the University of Texas. He's played in all 26 games both seasons he's been in Austin, and been a steady leg for Texas. However, he is now known for something on the other end of his body: his hair.

USA Today sports writer Paul Myerberg kicked off the frenzy in a tweet linking the photo, saying, "Texas K Nick Rose with a strong early lead on best headshot, 2014." Then, Deadspin picked up the story, and it went viral.
